Investigators used 'unlawful' practices when taking witness statements, Sean Fitzpatrick trial told

Investigators into alleged crimes by former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean Fitzpatrick used “unlawful" practices when taking witness statements, his trial has heard.

Lawyers for Mr FitzPatrick (68), who is accused of misleading auditors about multi-million euro loans, have said that statements from witnesses from the auditors were produced as a result of coaching and cross-contamination between witnesses.
